So I'm back to work and I have to say this week has been HARD, and it's only been 2 days!
The first week of school is always exhausting and my feet always hurt ut this is worse. Yesterday by lunch I could barely walk. I'm just not used to being on my feet all day with this much extra weight. And I feel HUGE. Though people keep telling me that they think I'm still "so tiny" for being this far along. Probably helps that I've been exercising so I haven't gained a lot (size wise) in the rest of my body, it's all mostly in the belly.
Had my OB appointment yesterday. According ot my apps I'm 22w, and I change over on Monday's so yesterday I was 22+2, but when my nurse was checking my paperwork she mentioned 21, and would be 22 tomorrow (which is today). I wonder how they are different from my count...or if they have the date of my LMP incorrect on their computer. I don't know if it is a real big deal to be a few days different?
They also said that it looks like my placenta was a little low, so they would probably order another US in 3rd Trimester to make sure it moved out of the way. She did say not to worry because she says it's still in the normal range just a little on the low side.
As for the short/small ladies - I' with you. I am so uncomfortable already.
Oh and as for movement - I wasn't feeling a lot, especially now that I'm at work and moving all day, but last night she was kicking up a storm and moving around a lot. Hard enough that i think we might be able to feel her externally soon (as in DH will be able to feel it) ! Of course, part of that was after I got home and nad it had been a 12 hour day between when I left the house and got back so I had a small mountain dew (yes, bad for me, but I avoided caffeine and sugar all day and needed a pick me up to make it the rest of the evening) and so I'm sure she was all hyped up.
Literati - congrats on the girl!! Our tech couldn't say anything either. She went directly to show the scans to an on-site doctor (scan isn't at my doctor's office) and then told us things looked good and my doctor did a follow up at my next standard appointment. I think the only thing the onsite doctor would haev talked to us for was major things.
Momtastic - Yay! A girl! congrats!
froggy - sorry about the placena previa.
Hopefully that resolves itself or they can do something? I don't know much about it just that it can put you on bed rest early.
